Description

The Mouraria is one of the most traditional neighborhoods of Lisbon, which owes its name to the fact that D. Afonso Henriques, after the conquest of Lisbon, confined one area of the city to the Arabs. It was in this neighborhood that remained the Moors after the Christian reconquer.

Let's see what are made of the traditions, cultures and history of the Mouraria district. The heritage of diversity is evoked the patron saints, missing crafts, aristocratic families and old customes. Under the majestic gaze of the castle, the houses nudges up to the valley and a complete maze of alleys, streets, squares and stairways that make us remember an Arab Medina.

On the streets remains ”Pedras foreiras” and the old doors of the medieval city. Muralha Fernandina, Capela N. S. Saúde, Colégio dos Meninos Órfãos, Colégio de St. Antão-O-Velho, Palácio da Rosa, Recolhimento of São Cristóvão, Casa de balcão de ressalto do Largo da Achada and other buildings stand in Mouraria.
